Jozsef,

I agree with the others that perhaps it should be a bit more unified, but I
can understand that this is difficult for the Usplash as you're forced to
put it on black.

I do like the wallpapers, both of them, Viper550's a tad better, but it
could be a bit glossier.

As for the text "Xubuntu" underneath the logo: it is done well IMHO,
however, the colours don't really match, it's too light-blue...

The text in the Usplash seems OK, though perhaps better if you make it blue
letters with black shade?

Hope that helps,

Vincent
